Nolo contendere is a legal term that comes from the Latin for "I do not wish to contend." It is also referred to as a plea of "No Contest."
In criminal trials, and in some common law jurisdictions, it is a plea where the defendant neither admits nor disputes a charge, serving as an alternative to a pleading of guilty or not guilty.
